HANNspree shipping XM-series 19-inch monitors

Press release, July 10; Rodney Chan, DIGITIMES Asia

HANNspree North America has announced it has begun shipping its XM-series 19-inch monitors. The new monitors, HANNS Boston and HANNS New York, provide consumers with alternatives to traditional IT monitors, with stylish touches that let them express their personal tastes and passions in exciting new ways, according to the company.

Both HANNS Boston (suggested retail price: US$249.99) and HANNS New York (suggested retail price: U$249.99) feature active matrix LCD screens, individualistic styling and the unique 360-degree design approach that sets HANNspree apart from other display manufacturers.

HANNspree XM-series monitors take a different approach to "breaking the mold" in traditional computer display design. The 19-inch widescreen HANNS New York, for instance, with its rugged post-modern industrial cosmetic, sturdy brushed aluminum stand and overall "art techno" styling, derives inspiration from "industrial machine" design and offers the perfect complement for the most elegant Big Apple-inspired interior décor.

For a more traditional style, HANNS Boston boasts a wood-grain cosmetic and straightforward functional design that embodies good taste and refinement and would not be out of place in the most refined Beacon Hill brownstone.

Both XM-series monitors offer WXGA+ resolution up to 1440×900 (in the widescreen models), as well as astounding clear images, brightness levels up to 350 cd/m2 and response times up to 5ms.

Both models feature advanced cable management and mounting options for total convenience and user flexibility, and feature 150-degree/135-degree viewing angles. For total flexibility and utility, both feature digital/analog PC inputs (DVI/D-sub 15 pin) and user-selectable color temperature settings.
